Designing for kids is designing for the future. The objects both physical and virtual will mold a child's future and Krystina Castella's brilliant book will help designers bring that future to life. Steven Heller, co-chair SVA MFA Design / Designer as Author and Entrepreneur When I reflect on what is truly unique about the design mindset, it always comes back to three things: impact, empathy, and play. In Designing for Kids, Castella provides educators and practitioners with actionable methodologies that help us excel at creating design artifacts that do just that. Matthew Manos Assistant Professor of Design, University of Southern California; Founder and Managing Director, verynice Brilliantly written, comprehensive, and detailed guidebook on how to design and develop products exclusively for children. Enriched with case studies and learning tools from experts and thought leaders in the industry. A must have reference book for all times. Yesim Kunter, Play Expert and a Futurist

Synopsis
Designers, especially design students, rarely have access to children or their worlds when creating products, images, experiences and environments for them. Therefore, fine distinctions between age transitions and the day-to-day experiences of children are often overlooked. Designing for Kids brings together all a designer needs to know about developmental stages, play patterns, age transitions, playtesting, safety standards, materials and the daily lives of kids, providing a primer on the differences in designing for kids versus designing for adults. Research and interviews with designers, social scientists and industry experts are included, highlighting theories and terms used in the fields of design, developmental psychology, sociology, cultural anthropology and education. This textbook includes more than 150 color images, helpful discussion questions and clearly formatted chapters, making it relevant to a wide range of readers. It is a useful tool for students in industrial design, interaction design, environmental design and graphic design with children as the main audience for their creations.
